The second day of the NFL draft is not nearly as exciting as the first, but that does’t mean there aren’t a number of talented players available. More than half of last year’s Pro Bowl roster was taken after the first round. Here are some of the players in the 2016 draft who could join that group.

1. Jaylon Smith, LB Cowboys

Smith had to wait a long time to hear his name called after suffering a torn ACL in Notre Dame’s bowl game. He won’t have to wait very long for his first trip to Hawaii once he returns to the field. The 20-year-old is everything NFL teams are looking for in a modern linebacker. He covers the field sideline-to-sideline, he has the instincts to make big plays in the run game and he can blanket tight ends with his tremendous coverage skills. The Cowboys taking him high in the second round is the best endorsement his knee could get; the doctor who performed his surgery just happens to be on the Cowboys staff.

2. Myles Jack, LB Jaguars

The Jaguars may have backed into one of the best draft hauls in recent memory. First they land Jalen Ramsey — the player we had as the best in the draft — at pick No. 5, then they get another top-5 talent in Jack, who fell because of concerns over his knee. The fear was Jack’s knee would require microfracture surgery in the near future, but Dr. James Andrews said otherwise right before Day 2 got underway. Jack is the total package at the linebacker position. He covers like a cornerback and can take on blockers when playing the run.

3. Mackensie Alexander, CB Vikings

This pick is all about Vikings coach Mike Zimmer, who has the much deserved reputation of a prolific developer of young defensive talent. That’s who Alexander — a physically gifted corner — gets to learn under. He’ll also get to play behind a promising front seven and alongside a talented group of young defensive backs. Alexander could not have landed in a better spot.

4. Kendall Fuller, CB Redskins

If not for a knee injury injury, Fuller goes in the first round. He’s that good of a player. So pegging him as a possible Pro Bowler isn’t much of a stretch. The biggest knock on the Virginia Tech product is his lack of discipline against crafty receivers. His athleticism and ball skills, on the other hand, cannot be questioned. Fuller will intercept his fair share of passes over the course of his career. His game is a lot like that of new teammate and fellow Hokie DeAngelo Hall, who’s made three trips to the Pro Bowl despite inconsistent play.

5. Cody Whitehair, G Bears

It doesn’t take a first-round pedigree to get recognition at the guard position. Half of last year’s Pro Bowl guards were taken after the first day of the draft. Whitehair played tackle at Kansas State but should have no problem transitioning to guard at the next level, where his lack of length won’t be a big problem. He’s a big, strong kid who will start right away for an emerging Bears team.

6. Cyrus Jones, CB/KR Patriots

Jones has the potential to develop into a solid corner one day, but he’s on this list for his return skills. He returned four kicks for touchdowns last year for Alabama before running a sub-4.5 40 at the combine. With the league pushing the touchback spot up to the 25-yard-line on, Jones will get plenty of chances to show of his return skills in 2016. Darren Sproles, who turns 33 in June, was one of the Pro Bowl return specialists, so a spot should be opening up for Jones to slide onto the roster.

7. Roberto Aguayo, K Buccaneers

The Buccaneers trading up to draft Aguayo was a move that deserved all of the ridicule it received on Friday night. It doesn’t matter how good a kicker is, the position will never justify such a valuable pick — plus Tampa Bay gave up the 106th pick for the right to waste their second-rounder on a kicker. Two picks for one kicker! Anyway, Aguayo is a talented kicker who was taken that high for a reason. His accuracy could very well get him a Pro Bowl nod someday, but it will never justify the pick.
